If you go over to the Industry forum under the sub-section DSArms, you'll find a ton of info on them. They seem to be good guns. I like the idea of a Nitride barrel coating and am thinking of ordering one. I have an extra BCG here so $275 plus shipping isn't a bad deal at all. I'm not .mil either so I should be GTG with one.

I bought one of their fluted mid-length uppers w/nitride barrel. It's been rock solid and very accurate. Mated to a Doublestar lower+LPK and using a Bravo Co. BCG, it's now my "go-to" anti-coyote weapon.





DSA is GTG.

You can see my thoughts on DSA's uppers here. Mine fit the bill for what I was doing perfectly.

I purchased the same when they first came out. Pretty accurate but I barely put any rounds through it so far.

I have a DSA upper receiver on one of the $235  uppers that JSE was selling a little while ago. I have no complaints. Finish looks good and is 100X more durable than the $.99 black spray paint finish on the Olympic I have. Feed ramps look good. Overall, well worth the $235 I paid.

I just watched that Tactical Whatnot show on the DVR today (with that Vickers guy) and he had a big feature on DSA and their FN FAL copies. Any company that has the stones to put out a full auto .308 FAL PDW with an 11" barrel gets a thumbs up in my book. I don't see any problems with them making any AR stuff.

I have been happy with mine, one of the plain chromemoly $265 M4 uppers. There have been a few that have had the barrel extention come loose though but DSA took care of it quick. I say buy with confidence.

Can't be beat for the money. I bought a 16 inch middy fluted nitrided and I ran it to the extreme dumping mag after mag trying to get a malfunction. After about 300 rounds it just wasn't going to happen. It is a little heavy but other than that I would definitly by another..
